Mandatory voting coupled with sloppy registration is a recipe for permanent one-party control.
Give them someone to vote FOR!
A low turn out is a sign of a candidate selection that can’t energize the voters. It doesn’t mean things are going well, it means the people don’t see a reason to bother.
What, like the Soveit Union?
What a maroon.
Well we already have one party control.
“Well we already have one party control.”
Yes, the INCUMBENT Party!
I think he is just trying to get his base out. The if-Obama-says-it-then-it-must-be-a-good-thing response. He’s really telling them, “If you want to beat them, y’all have to vote.”
Mandatory voting is an anti-freedom idea that only someone like him would even allow himself to suggest.
Yeah, nothing can go wrong with that.
We already have too many uninformed, uninvolved, uncaring idiots voting for wrong reasons.
Mmm, i don’t know, I just refer to it as Them.
It doesn’t have too much to do with incumbency, just look at Jeff Flake, Kelly Ayotte, Marco Rubio... all fresh blood, all just as poisonous as the old blood.
Frankly I am for dismantling the entire thing at this point.
Why do we need to force people to vote, when our leaders claim to represent the non-voters?
A fourth of the country thinks they know what is really going on and have selected the better candidate.
A second fourth think they know what’s going on and have selected the poorer candidate.
A third fourth think they know what’s going on and reject both of them.
The final fourth realize that they don’t know what’s going on and they couldn’t care less.
White people should not be allowed to vote.
Now he wants mandatory voting, in November he was claiming to act on behalf of the two-thirds of voters who did not vote.

Your vote can be for the king and for no one else.
Have you heard of THE UNIPARTY?
It's here.
FMCDH(BITS)
His base never left him (as evidenced by the 2012 election); his opposition is dying off and being replaced by apathetic non-voters.
this alone ..mandating voting ..he a$$clown should be impeached
This all began with the 2004 election; GW Bush won that election with 4 Million more votes than in 2000.
Wow! How could that happen? It seems the base came out to vote, not wanting another FL recount nightmare.
However, I have noted that Obama has had one serious obsession - having MORE THAN 4 MILLION MORE VOTES THAN THE REPUBS. Hmmmmm? That seems to me to be his reason for Amnesty. And, his comment that “... requiring EVERYBODY to vote would completely change the political map”.
While I do agree with that statement, without the Amnesty group being allowed to vote, the DemocRATS are only 37-39% of the vote. That means, HE HAS TO HAVE AMNESTY in order to win elections - unless and of course, unless the BASE of the GOP decides to stay home again.
Forcing people to vote is tyranny - there’s no other way to describe it; anyone who thinks this is a great thing is either blind or just plain stupid.
